HSR and PRP tag and de-duplicate each wire frame separately. A GSO
super-packet reaching the forwarding path hides several wire frames,
which cannot be tagged or numbered per frame. Such skbs reach a member
even with GRO off, for example from a container or VM attached through
veth, tap or virtio to a software RedBox, or from a member whose GRO_HW
cannot be turned off.

Add one forwarding entry, hsr_forward_input(), for master TX and for
frames received on any port. It segments GSO input outside seqnr_lock;
each segment is then numbered and submitted under the lock, one frame
at a time as before, and follows the normal forwarding and local
delivery paths. Master TX and interlink RX now take the lock there
instead of in their callers.

Classify by the effective inner protocol with the core's bounded VLAN
decoder (802.1Q, 802.1AD, nested or accelerated). Drop aggregates with
inner HSR/PRP, unreadable fragments or undecodable headers, and IPv4
or IPv6 aggregates whose nonzero IP length ends before the skb does,
since the trailing bytes would become segment payload. GSO_PARTIAL and
zero IP lengths are left to the segmenter. Drops are counted once on
the entry device in the core per-CPU drop counters. Segmentation writes
the control block and headers, so a still-shared input is unshared
first.

Older PRP senders can append one RCT to a whole GSO skb. Such
aggregates, including locally destined ones, are now dropped instead
of being delivered.

Remove the NETIF_F_GSO_MASK types from the master's hw_features so the
core segments local traffic before ndo_start_xmit().
